Spreading the Love

Monday, May 14, 2012

A smile. An encouraging word. A thoughtful gesture. Each day people interact with us, help, and make our day a bit brighter and full. This is especially true in the Writing Community.

Take a second to think about writers you know, like the critique partner who works with you to improve your manuscript. The writing friend who listens, supports and keeps you strong when times are tough. The author who generously offers council, advice and inspiration when asked.

So many people take the time to make us feel special, don't they? They comment on our blogs, re-tweet our posts, chat with us on forums and wish us Happy Birthday on Facebook.

Kindness ROCKS!

To commemorate the release of their book The Emotion Thesaurus, Becca and Angela at The Bookshelf Muse are hosting a TITANIC Random Act Of Kindness BLITZ. And because I think KINDNESS is contagious, I'm participating too!

Nicole at WORD for Teens is my blitz recipient. I've known her pretty much since I started blogging and she's been an absolute gem the entire time. Constantly supportive, super kind and insanely intelligent, Nicole is passionate about books and is more than willing to give authors a helping hand to promote their novels. She's dedicated to her blog, the YA genre and stirring thought in others. She deserves it! So to her I'm giving a $25 Barnes and Noble gift card so she can keep reading and spreading the love. Thank you for being you, Nicole!

Do you know someone special that you'd like to randomly acknowledge? Don't be shy--come join us and celebrate! Send them an email, give them a shout out, or show your appreciation in another way. Kindness makes the world go round. :)

Becca and Angela have a specialRAOK giftwaiting for you as well, so hop on over to The Bookshelf Muse to pick it up.
